"Fate? Free-will? When Aleria Hayes gets swept into the world of the Watchers, will it be the end of the world? This novel takes the vampire mythos to a whole new level…with a surprise twist that will blow you away.” ★★★★★ After breaking up with her boyfriend, seventeen-year-old Aleria “Ali” Hayes finally feels liberated. Unfortunately, her ex’s buddies are not making it easy on her. When his friends harass her one night, a mysterious stranger, Bowen, steps in to rescue her. But just as this new relationship seems to be taking off, Ali is attacked by something far worse than spiteful high school boys. When she awakes, her eyes are opened to a world where gods still walk the earth, where vampires and other immortals fight for supremacy—and where fate may be stronger than free will. Now, Ali must decide who she can trust, and whether the world of mortals is worth saving at all. About the Watcher Series This simple beginning evolves into an epic journey through the shadow world of vampires, fallen angels, and the Watchers. This series is great for anyone who loves the romance of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, the world building of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments Series, and the high stakes of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games. When you get to book two, fasten your seatbelt, each book is faster, darker, and sexier. Interview with the Author Q: What inspired you to write The Watcher Series? A: It’s kind of embarrassing, but it was my coping mechanism after my life took an unexpected turn. In 1996 I called off my wedding (only six weeks before it happened—but don’t worry, I found my Prince Charming later). Consequently, I was in this weird emotional state. Writing became my refuge. I didn’t write the whole book then, but I did write several scenes, chose the character names, and laid out the blueprint for my novel. Q: What made you finish writing the first book? A: In late 2008, I went back to what I had written again and toyed around for a long time. But it wasn’t until a student saw my manuscript sitting on a table and asked if she could read it that things got real. I nervously let her, dying a little bit inside. Then, she did the most magical thing—she asked if she could take it home to finish reading. It spurred me on, and I've never looked back. Q: What were your influences? A: I graduated with my degree in English and have a deep love of mythology and literature. Works like Paradise Lost, The Book of Enoch, Dracula, and The Tempest were all influences. I also had a friend introduce me to the old, cult classic film, Highlander when I was in college. This, combined with The Book of Enoch, sparked my ideas for my Watchers. (No, it wasn’t Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was before the show ever aired. But we did use a lot of the same source material). I love the niches of urban fantasy and paranormal romance, too. I wanted my books to be a journey for my characters where they will find romance along the way, along with twists, turns, action, thrills, and a dash of mystery and intrigue. The Unintended starts off a little slower because of world building, but by the time you get to The Nexus, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride. Q: In what order should we read them? A: If you want maximum suspense, this is my recommended order: The Unintended The Nexus >> Allure (the prequel) The Sacrifice The Fallen Part 1 The Fallen Part 2 >> Light and Shadow: Watcher Series Shorts & Extras (I recommend reading “The Price” after The Nexus. The alternate point of view will change everything).

In a work that is as much about the present as the past, Brad Gregory identifies the unintended consequences of the Protestant Reformation and traces the way it shaped the modern condition over the course of the following five centuries. A hyperpluralism of religious and secular beliefs, an absence of any substantive common good, the triumph of capitalism and its driver, consumerism—all these, Gregory argues, were long-term effects of a movement that marked the end of more than a millennium during which Christianity provided a framework for shared intellectual, social, and moral life in the West. Before the Protestant Reformation, Western Christianity was an institutionalized worldview laden with expectations of security for earthly societies and hopes of eternal salvation for individuals. The Reformation’s protagonists sought to advance the realization of this vision, not disrupt it. But a complex web of rejections, retentions, and transformations of medieval Christianity gradually replaced the religious fabric that bound societies together in the West. Today, what we are left with are fragments: intellectual disagreements that splinter into ever finer fractals of specialized discourse; a notion that modern science—as the source of all truth—necessarily undermines religious belief; a pervasive resort to a therapeutic vision of religion; a set of smuggled moral values with which we try to fertilize a sterile liberalism; and the institutionalized assumption that only secular universities can pursue knowledge. The Unintended Reformation asks what propelled the West into this trajectory of pluralism and polarization, and finds answers deep in our medieval Christian past.

Was our country’s economic success before the Crash of ‘08 built on false pretenses? Did we simply borrow and spend too much, or was something else really going on? The conventional wisdom now accuses Wall Street and the mortgage industry of using predatory tactics to seduce homeowners. Meanwhile, average Americans are blamed for increasing consumption to unsustainable levels by borrowing recklessly. And the tax policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations are blamed for encouraging reckless risk-taking. Edward Conard disagrees. In an attempt to set the record straight he presents a fascinating new case for how the economy really works, why the U.S. has outperformed other countries, what caused the financial crisis, and what improvements might better protect our economy without damaging growth.

Sociology of unintended consequences is commonly depicted as a framework for understanding the outcomes that run counter to the initial intentions of social actors because of factors such as ignorance, error and complexity. This conventional approach, however, is now undergoing change under the influence of more encompassing shifts in framing in social sciences. Indeed, in the last few years, the study of the unintended has evidently moved from the question "What are the sources of the unintended?" to the inquiry "What is it that makes the unintended possible?" or "What risks, but also opportunities, do the unintended entail?" Explaining this puzzle in relation to the internal dynamics of sociology of unintended consequences, Adriana Mica makes an erudite journey in relation to its three main analytical frameworks, their semantic shifts, setbacks and theoretical revivals. Certainly, through the examination of the use of protective headgear in boxing, this volume renders explicitly the possibilistic turn not only in the specific research of the unintended, but in sociology more generally. Presenting the contributions of leading sociology theorists in a new light, Sociology as Analysis of the Unintended will appeal to graduate students and researchers interested in fields such as theoretical sociology, sociology of substantive issues and sociology of sport.
